Smolensk .76 - General observations Options

[ScrapyardBob]

At the peak last night, we had 13v13 players online (with 1 or 2 in spectator mode). While we didn't have a server crash at all last night, a few people complained about periodic lag spikes. Now, I also experienced lag spikes last night, but I suspect it was because XFire was downloading an update in the background. The previous night on 12v12, we didn't suffer from any lag spikes.

A few people have trouble with high pings on this map. We may need to do some digging into old CoD:UO tuning threads to give some additional suggestions. Because it's a larger map, some people may need to adjust various settings (quality, resolution, hunkmegs, datarate, etc.).

At a minimum, before complaining about ping / lag, please turn on both your FPS display and your lag meter. You can enable these by entering the following commands in the console.

/cg_lagometer 1
/cg_drawFPS 1

You should also refer to this thread, which explains some basic performance tuning and also covers how to read the lagometer.

I agree, BAS seems to be focused on team-play alot, the main soldiers at smolensk seem to just run straight at the enemy bunkers and leave defence untouched.. maybe its a good idea to make the bomb timer longer, to give teams more time to respond and time to cover the great distances...
